The Department of History at Bucknell University invites applications for a one-year visiting assistant professor, beginning fall 2014, whose teaching and research focus on colonial North America (excluding Canada but including the Hispanic Southwest). Preference will be given to those candidates with an interest in native peoples and the history of borderlands. Candidates who are ABD or Ph.D. will be considered. The successful candidate will teach advanced undergraduate courses in her or his specific field as well as introductory courses covering American history from the 16th through the 19th centuries. The Department seeks student-centered faculty members with a commitment to supporting diversity and the liberal arts mission.

Submit a letter of application, curriculum vita, a brief statement on teaching philosophy, and three letters of recommendation to jobs.bucknell.edu. Review of applications will begin on February 28, 2014 and continue until the position is filled.

Bucknell University, an Equal Opportunity Employer, believes that students learn best in a diverse, inclusive community and is therefore committed to academic excellence through diversity in its faculty, staff, and students. We seek candidates who are committed to Bucknell’s efforts to create a climate that fosters the growth and development of a diverse student body, and we welcome applications from members of groups that have been historically underrepresented in higher education.
